Captain America: Civil War Trailer - 8 Easter Eggs And References You Probably Missed

3. Flying Scarlet Witch

What are Scarlet Witch's powers? Oh, that's not some witty opening to this entry - that's a genuine question. In Avengers: Age Of Ultron her red beams could do just about anything, from giving visions that accidentally predicted the future to dismantling robots with emotionally-variable efficiency. At least Vision had the whole "God" thing going for him so all that lasering and phasing kinda felt like it belonged. Hopefully we'll get a more regular set of powers, or at least some definition of what exactly all that Hydra meddling did to her, in Civil War. At the moment, what we do know at the very least that she'll be bringing a clear comic power to the screen - the ability to use that manipulation to fly. We did see Elizabeth Olson propelled by her powers at the end of Age Of Ultron, but that was only light hovering in the Avengers building - as seen at the end of the trailer, this is proper flying. One step closer to a comic-accurate Scarlet Witch then (although don't expect her mutant parentage to be addressed any time soon).
